I have a deep understanding of China's institutional superiority and efficient execution -Belgian agricultural expert Francois

"If I use a word to talk about my deepest impression of the Communist Party of China, I will use the word leadership." Leadership has two meanings: one is to determine the route or goal I want to achieve, and the other is to lead the team to achieve the goal. Francis Selneer, a well -known agricultural expert in Belgium, said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency reporters.

Selneer, who has been in China for more than 20 years, is from the Agricultural and Agricultural Engineering Center of Erno Province, Belgium. The night potato disease is the number one killer of potato. In the 1990s, Selner and his team successfully launched a set of "potato late prediction prediction models" that can predict the late epidemic disease for three or four days in advance. In 1999, he introduced this model to Chongqing, China for free, and the cooperation between the China -Betta potato project was launched. In 2018, Selneer became one of the 40 "most influential foreign experts in the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up".

In the past 20 years, Selner has to go to China three or five times a year, and has a deep understanding of the superiority of the Chinese system, especially efficient execution. He said that with a clear goal, he can coordinate efforts for this. For example, China's poverty reduction policy has caused hundreds of millions of people to get rid of poverty. "This is exactly what the West lacks. We have no clear goals for where we have to go. Everyone often holds its own words. This will not only waste time, but also make mistakes decisions."

The long -term work and life in rural China have givenceta's deep experience in developing and changing China's development. "For the first time, I took two days to go to Wuxi from Chongqing City. It took one day from Chongqing to take a boat from the Yangtze River for one day, and then it took a day to change the jeep. It only takes about 6 hours to take the highway now."

Beginning in 2002, Selnel organized dozens of Belgian college students to go to China each year for short -term cultural and academic exchanges. Taking tourist agriculture as the main line, rural areas as classrooms to help Belgian young people know China and China.

Selneer said that the Chinese economy has entered a stage of high -quality development, not to blindly pursue creating profits or maintaining high economic growth, but to pursue harmonious growth. This growth takes into account the harmony between people, and also takes into account the harmony between people and the environment.

Selneer said that although the new crown epidemic affects some cooperation and exchanges, his team cooperation with China is still advancing. At present, his team is participating in a tripartite cooperation project in Belgium, China, and South Africa. He said, "We not only pay attention to increasing the production of potatoes, but also the problems of human health." We must try to minimize the negative impact on biodiversity and environment.
